Answer: With no choices given here, here are a few possibilities.

If it is not a right triangle, the third side could be any number less than 50 cm

If it is a right triangle, the third side could be the hypotenuse, which would be 10√13 or about 36.05 cm.

If 30cm is the hypotenuse, the other side would be 10√5 or about 22.36 cm

Step-by-step explanation: If the two given sides add up to 50, they flatten out to a straight line, equal to the third side, so it is no longer a triangle. The third side must be less than the sum of the other two sides.

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem a² + b² = c² to calculate the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.

For example

20² + 30² = c²

400 + 900 = c²

1300 = c²

√1300 = √(100)(13) = √c²

10√13 = c ≈ 36.05

Nonamiya [84]
Let x be the number of pennies which is also equal to the number of dimes. By this representation, the number of quarters is equal 46 - 2x. The total amount is $4.87 or 487 cents. The equation that best represent the given is,
                                  x + 10x + 25(46 - 2x) = 487
The value of x from the equation is 17. Therefore, there are 17 of both pennies and dimes and 12 quarters.
